Aldrich: Link properties pattern
- Todd McGill
- Meredith Ehrenberg
This pattern is used whenever a link is included as part of a Data Definition.
How it works
Destination type
Selection | What this means | What this triggers |
|---|---|---|
Asset | Indicates that the link points to an asset in Cascade that is part of your site. | Causes the Destination asset and Anchor Data Definition fields to display. |
URL | Indicates that the link points to somewhere on the web, not in Cascade as part of your site. | Causes the Destination URL Data Definition field to display. |
Choosing Asset for destinations within your site comes with special benefits! Learn how Cascade treats asset links.
Destination asset and Anchor
Only displayed when Destination type is set to ‘Asset’.
Use the asset selector to indicate the destination of the link. You may optionally indicate a page anchor ID in the Anchor text field.
Inclusion or omission of the preceding # in the Anchor text field doesn’t matter. The template will know what you mean either way,
Destination URL
Enter the full URL of the destination in the text field.
Open link in
Same tab/window - Uses the current browser tab/window when navigating to the link destination.
New tab/window - Opens the link destination in a new tab/window.
